Political Parties in American History: 1789-1828"Volume II: 1828-1890 shows that we can find in the arena of party politics the major political changes that make the nineteenth century so important in the history of American democracy. In these years, new forms of party organization and political leadership were created and perfected. The result was a competitive two-party system in all its modern features. Each of the articles chosen to be incorporated in these anthologies represents the best writings of historians and political scientists and lucidly presents significant ideas and interpretations. Each volume contains a general introduction which serves to focus the reader on the problems of the period and to introduce the major issues and debates of the time. In addition, each article is prefaced by a brief introduction which explains the importance of the article, as well as gives relevant data about its author."--Jacket. |
